Hi, I'm trying to setup backuppc on my desktop pc. I'm using Pardus Linux. I've installed Backuppc from the sources and everything has been setup. I can access CGI, and from the log's I can see that Backuppc has started. But the problem is, i can't find the host. I've tried several method's but none of them has worked. My server's hostname is : fatih-pardus My client's hostname is : samsung I'm using dhcp to apply ip's on the machines. The ip's began with 192.168.1.100 Now the following commands give these outputs: **********Pinging the client (samsung)****************** fatih@fatih-pardus ~ $ ping -c 3 192.168.1.101 PING 192.168.1.101 (192.168.1.101) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from 192.168.1.101: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=10.5 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.1.101: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=1.95 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.1.101: icmp_seq=3 ttl=64 time=7.05 ms --- 192.168.1.101 ping statistics --- 3 packets transmitted, 3 received, 0% packet loss, time 2003ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 1.959/6.518/10.540/3.525 ms ********************************************************** fatih@fatih-pardus ~ $ nmblookup -A 192.168.1.101 Looking up status of 192.168.1.101 No reply from 192.168.1.101 ************************************************ fatih@fatih-pardus ~ $ nmblookup samsung querying samsung on 192.168.1.255 name_query failed to find name samsung *************** Doing this as backuppc user gives:***************** backuppc@fatih-pardus bin $ ./BackupPC_dump -v -f samsung Name server doesn't know about samsung; trying NetBios cmdSystemOrEval: about to system /usr/bin/nmblookup samsung cmdSystemOrEval: finished: got output querying samsung on 192.168.1.255 name_query failed to find name samsung NetBiosHostIPFind: couldn't find IP address for host samsung host not found ******************************************************************** backuppc@fatih-pardus bin $ nmblookup -A samsung Looking up status of 0.0.0.0 No reply from 0.0.0.0 ******************************************************************* backuppc@fatih-pardus bin $ nmblookup -B 192.168.1.255 samsung querying samsung on 192.168.1.255 name_query failed to find name samsung backuppc@fatih-pardus bin $ nmblookup -B 192.168.1.101 samsung querying samsung on 192.168.1.101 name_query failed to find name samsung backuppc@fatih-pardus bin $ nmblookup -B 192.168.1.1 samsung querying samsung on 192.168.1.1 name_query failed to find name samsung You see that none of them shows my host.

It appears that netbios name resolution is not working from your BackupPC
server to your clients. Your choices are to debug and fix that, or to
configure BackupPC for DHCP. Have you configured DHCP correctly in BackupPC?
What is the value of the DHCP flag (2nd parameter) for the host entries in
your /etc/backuppc/hosts file? It needs to be 1.
What is the value of $Conf{DHCPAddressRanges} in your config.pl?

Hi Dave,
I've just configured it to 1, but i've earlier tried every possible
combination, that means i've tried 0,1 and dhcp without any sucees.
In config.pl, I've wrote this:
$Conf{DHCPAddressRanges} = [
{
'first' => '100',
'ipAddrBase' => '192.168.1',
'last' => '150'
}
];
My Gateway is 192.168.1.1. I own a Linksys router, which i have
configured to be in DHCP mode.
This mode begins with 192.168.1.100 and 50 machines can connect.
Regards

I suspect your problem is related to backuppc not being able to talk
nmb to your windows machine. I think you need to look at the
firewall/filtering on the windows machine, and also ensure file/print
sharing is enabled. Follow those basics, if you can, make sure you can
see it from another windows machine before getting back to backuppc.
Hope that helps.

Adam

There is an alternative solution. It is not elegant, but it works.
If the server is the GNU/Linux box, add the IP addresses of your network
hosts to /etc/hosts. There is a similar file in Windows XP and probably
Vista.
On the GNU/Linux host open /etc/hosts with your favorite text editor. Add
the following lines and save the file. I don't know what the IP address of
each host is, but I will use 192.168.1.1 for faith-pardus and 192.168.1.101
for Samsung.
192.168.1.1 fatih-pardus
192.168.1.101 samsung
In Windows XP, the hosts file is located at C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC,
and the format is the same as Linux. The format is identical because the
hosts file system predates GNU/Linux and Windows and was adopted by each.
The drawback of this solution is: If your IP addresses change, you must edit
the hosts file on each (every) machine. Since your network is probably
small, you are unlikely to have a problem. If you do, the fix is simple.

That looks correct. What is BackupPC_dump -v saying now?

I am home now and looking at the BackupPC code. I see in BackupPC_dump script line 144 that it expects the command: nmblookup -A <ip address> to return the name of your host when configured for DHCP. So you need to figure out how to make that work in order for BackupPC to work. Is there firewall software running on your PC's that is blocking nmblookup? Or is there a hardware firewall that is blocking it? This is now a moot point, but for DHCP clients, BackupPC_dump is called by main BackupPC script with '-d' parameter and IP address, not the host name. So you should have been using this call: ./BackupPC_dump -v -f -d 192.168.1.101 But that won't work until you make nmblookup -A work. However, once you figure out why netbios isn't working, you can probably turn off DHCP mode, and go back to using netbios name resolution. Hope that helps...

Thanks all for helping. I've just figured out where the problem is. On my client(which is ubuntu 8.04), i thought that Samba was pre-installed. But this is not the case, thus I've installed Samba trough synaptic. Now nmblookup is able to see my client, I've just started to take a backup. But i thought that for a Linux Client, samba is not needed? Am I wrong with this assumption ?

Am I wrong > with this assumption ? installing Samba for NMB is definitely overkill. There are two points to note: - the DHCP code in BackupPC is targetted at Windoze hosts (because Unix hosts generally prefer fixed IPs, though there are exceptions). 'nmblookup' is for finding out the name of a Windoze machine. For Unix machines, you use DNS (even with DHCP), /etc/hosts or maybe something like 'telnet $ip hostname' or 'ssh $ip hostname'. You *can* use Samba and nmblookup, but the other options are more elegant. - Using the '-d' option on BackupPC_dump is about the same as setting the DHCP option to '1' in the hosts file. Since you switched to fixed IPs, everything is probably working as it should even without Samba. If you want to test, omit the '-d' option to BackupPC_dump. One more thing to note is that you should reload the server after changing the hosts file. Regards, Holger |
